For a long time, tech companies have pitched pet cameras as a way to find out what your furball is up to when you’re not home. Vex, a new robot companion launched at CES this week, takes that a step further: it follows your pet around, filming as it goes, and uses AI smarts to stitch together a video from the footage.
Vex is a small white sphere that comes with cute, stubby limbs, ears, and accessories in a range of colors. It’s compact enough to hold in one hand, so will almost certainly be smaller than whatever pet you want it to film.
It’s autonomous enough to follow your cat or dog around the house and play with them, and uses visual recognition to identify specific pets. It films as it goes, catching low-angle footage that should come a little closer to your pet’s perspective, and cuts each day’s footage into “moving narratives and shareable stories.” Manufacturer FrontierX hasn’t actually shared an example of that edited footage though, which will be the real test of whether this is worthwhile.
It’s joined by Aura, a larger spherical bot with a circular screen for a face. This is being sold more as a companion bot for people, with the ability to read body language and facial expressions to understand your mood. Like Vex it can follow you around, and even talk to you with the help of LLM-powered conversational features.
Vex and Aura are both still in development — FrontierX is in such an early stage that it doesn’t even have a website live yet, just a barebones Instagram page. Still, the company says it will be ready to take preorders in the next six months, though hasn’t said how much either robot will cost.

Two more NFL teams officially made the postseason during Week 17 of the 2025 NFL regular season, and three division titles were clinched. So what’s at stake in the final week of the regular season?
There are two spots left in the playoffs (one in each conference), and three division titles are still up for grabs heading into Sunday. The NFC’s 1-seed was settled Saturday night, but the AFC’s 1-seed is still unclaimed.
Let’s take a look at how those spots can be claimed in Week 18.

I am old enough to remember when the SEC managed only three NCAA bids three times in a four-year span (2013-2016). Old enough to remember it being the No. 7 conference, just decimal points ahead of the Atlantic 10, in 2012-13. Even old enough to remember when Missouri and Texas A&M, not to mention Texas and Oklahoma, were in the Big 12.
So while last season’s monumental 14 bids were a bit of a perfect storm, the SEC’s basketball fortunes had been trending upward for some time. It’s why the league’s bid average has climbed above even the 18-team Big Ten since the COVID interruption of 2020. The hoops have gotten so good in the SEC that its gridiron performance is an afterthought (wink, wink …).
What the conference can’t possibly repeat, however, are its double 1-seeds, double 2-seeds and twin Final Four entries (Auburn and national champion Florida) of 2025. That kind of dominance is unsustainable, leaving us with an SEC that is simply excellent instead of generational. It’s also not a bad place to land the plane.
The SEC will be hard-pressed to field one Final Four entrant, much less repeat its double dip of last season. However, its leading candidate being Vanderbilt is an equally good story.
It’s got to be a bit disappointing for the folks in Gainesville and Lexington to have their home teams in the second tier of SEC contenders. But it’s a long season, and all five schools here could change their fortunes dramatically.
A year ago, LSU (14-18, 3-15 conference) was one of the SEC’s two misses. A likely must-win year for Matt McMahon has produced a 12-1 nonconference slate so far — albeit against a sub-250 schedule. The Tigers’ “real” season begins today at fellow bubbler Texas A&M.
Georgia lost its NBA first-rounder Asa Newell but is right back in the thick of things for an NCAA bid. The Bulldogs, like LSU, went 12-1 nonconference, with wins over Georgia Tech, Xavier, Florida State and Cincinnati that are solid, if unspectacular. A .500 league record should be enough for an NCAA return date.
The 6-seed Gamecocks of 2024 (26-8, 13-5 SEC) are looking like an outlier. As for Mississippi State, the Bulldogs had nonconference opportunities but could not close the deal when it counted.
Key games to watch
Jan. 7: Alabama at Vanderbilt, an early SEC showdown that could set the tone for the conference race.
Jan. 24: Auburn at Florida, a Final Four rematch, which the Gators could use to propel them to a repeat.
Valve has announced the winners of the 2025 Steam Awards and, unsurprisingly, Hollow Knight: Silksong, took home the Game of the Year honors. It was also given the “Best Game You Suck At” award, which, I’m not sure if that’s a good thing or not. Given the relentless fawning over Silksong since its release in September, an event that nearly brought the entire digital video game distribution system to its knees, that it would win Game of the Year felt like something of a forgone conclusion.
The Best Game on Steam Deck was awarded to Hades II (an award we’d already unofficially granted it). The mechanics of Hades lend it to being played in short bursts, and the stylized graphics scale down well. Silent Hill f won the Outstanding Visual Style award and, while there’s no denying it’s a gorgeous title, I can’t help but feel like Dream BBQ, with its uniquely hallucinatory visuals, got robbed. Check out the full list of winners and nominees here at the Steam Awards 2025 landing page.
Other highlights from the ceremony included Julia Robertsmaking her first appearance since welcoming her and Danny Moder’s twins Phinnaeus and Hazel, now both 21. The Pretty Woman star presented pal George Clooney with the ceremony’s Freedom Award for his direction in Good Night, and Good Luck!
After he accepted the award, George of course expressed gratitude for the achievement, but also couldn’t help but use his speech to ask his Ocean’s Eleven costar, “How are the twins?”
Last year, George went on to star in a stage adaptation of the film on Broadway, marking his debut.
“It’s scary,” the ER alum admitted of acting on the stage to CBS last year. “I haven’t done a play in 40 years, so it’s one of those things where, and I’ve never done the Broadway play, so I’m, of course, you know, petrified to do it. But it’s not such a bad thing.”

Daniel Oyefusi covers the Cleveland Browns for ESPN. Prior to ESPN, he covered the Miami Dolphins for the Miami Herald, as well as the Baltimore Ravens for The Baltimore Sun.
BEREA, Ohio — The Cleveland Browns’ season finale at the Cincinnati Bengals (6-10) on Sunday (1 p.m. ET, CBS) will mark the seventh and final start of the season for rookie quarterback Shedeur Sanders.
The game also serves as the final chance for Sanders to leave a lasting impression on the Browns organization ahead of an offseason that once again figures to be rife with quarterback questions.
Sanders, though, said he’s seeking only to showcase consistency in his final start of the Browns’ 4-12 season.
“Just staying consistent, taking what they give me,” Sanders said Wednesday. “Whenever we get off rhythm, get back on rhythm, you know, get back on track. And I think that’s the next part of my game I’m trying to evolve, is whenever either we’re stagnant or some adversity comes, being able to get back on track.”
The Browns are 2-4 since Sanders, the No. 144 overall pick in last April’s draft, took over as the starter in Week 12. He has shown flashes, displaying the ability to push the ball downfield and turning possible sacks into positive plays. Sanders has also made his fair share of rookie mistakes, from bad decision-making on throws to holding on to the ball too long in search of a big play.
In his six starts this season, Sanders ranks 28th out of 29 qualifying quarterbacks in Total QBR (25.2). During that time frame, he has thrown seven touchdowns to seven interceptions, the latter of which is the most in the NFL.
Sanders’ average time to throw (3.22 seconds) trails only San Francisco 49ers QB Brock Purdy (3.24 seconds), but he has also had to drop back behind a makeshift offensive line that has only one Week 1 starter — left guard Joel Bitonio — remaining in the lineup. Sanders has been pressured on 44.1% of his dropbacks, which trails only Los Angeles Chargers QB Justin Herbert (44.6%).
The Browns’ Week 17 win against the Pittsburgh Steelers was a microcosm of Sanders’ time as the Browns’ starting quarterback. Sanders completed 17 of 23 passes for 186 yards with one touchdown and two interceptions in the 13-6 victory, and the opening stretch of the game was one of the best sequences from Sanders this season.
He completed 10 of his first 13 passes for 156 yards and one touchdown through the first 20 minutes of the first half. On his 14th attempt, though, Sanders was hit from his blind side while attempting a pass, which ricocheted off a helmet, and was intercepted. Sanders then made a poor decision early in the fourth quarter and was intercepted while throwing across his body. The Browns’ offense stalled in the second half, scoring three points after halftime.
“I got to be able to take the proper, necessary risk,” Sanders said. “And even whenever you go through your progressions and the checkdown isn’t there, then what? So that’s kind of where I feel like the strides have been made from getting to the reads, getting to the checkdown. Now, the biggest jump I’ll say for me, is I plan on showing and plan on improving is when there is no play and I can’t get out of it, I can’t run — what I’m going to do with the ball.”
Despite Sanders’ ups and downs, Browns coach Kevin Stefanski has seen week-to-week improvement from the rookie quarterback.
“Continue to build, continue to build on the things that he’s doing really well,” Stefanski said of Sanders. “Like I’ve told you guys, there’s things that you ask him to improve upon each week, and he’s diligent about those things. So it’s just improving and then winning. We talked about that last week. We want to win as a football team, obviously, as quarterbacks, we get judged oftentimes on wins and losses, and it’s important, you know, to finish strong. So that’s what he’s going to try and put this team in a position to go win.”
As uncertainty surrounds the future of Stefanski, so does that of Sanders as the Browns’ franchise quarterback. Cleveland’s win against the Steelers was a victory that could have major draft implications and alter the path of the Browns’ offseason; it moved the team out of the inside track for a top-two pick in the 2026 NFL draft (a pick that could be used on a quarterback).
Deshaun Watson, who did not play this season as he rehabbed last season’s Achilles tear, is reportedly set to return to Cleveland in 2026. And third-round pick Dillon Gabriel, who started six consecutive games before sustaining a concussion in Week 11, is still under contract.
“I can’t think about what other people’s opinion or what they view me as,” Sanders said when asked if he has shown he can be a franchise quarterback. “I know the teams that we go against, I know they definitely respect me in the passing game, for sure, but I can’t be accountable for somebody else’s decisions.”
